Chat rewind with former UW halfback Dave Kopay

Dave Kopay was a stellar halfback for the University of Washington from 1961-63.

During his senior season, he was a co-captain for the Huskies who led the team in receptions and helped UW reach the Rose Bowl. He was named a 1963 AP Honorable Mention All-American.

He went on to play nine seasons in the NFL with San Francisco, Detroit, Washington, New Orleans and the Green Bay Packers.
